Gii module generator doesn't generate some files

Question

I expect Gii module generator generate for 'admin' as follows:

modules/admin/AdminModule.php
modules/admin/components
modules/admin/controllers/DefaultController.php
modules/admin/messages
modules/admin/models
modules/admin/views/default/index.php
modules/admin/views/layouts

but it just generate list below:

modules\admin\AdminModule.php
modules\admin\controllers\DefaultController.php
modules\admin\views\default\index.php

Why? How could I make it generate rest of those? My first list expectation is according to "Web Application Development with Yii and PHP by Jeffrey Winesett" book.

What did you let gii generate? What exactly do you want gii to generate? The empty directories `components`, `messages`, `models` and `layouts`? What's the benefit? — Kai, Feb 27 '13 at 13:19
Looks to me like this is not an error. You can simply create the other directories by hand, if at all needed... — Ivo Renkema, Feb 27 '13 at 13:36
I wanna generate a simple module named 'admin'. The book says it should happen like first list (with empty folders). — , Feb 27 '13 at 14:47
Yes you right, I can do it by hands. but I still don't know why there is deference. — , Feb 27 '13 at 14:52

That book was published a while ago (possibly for v1.0), so things will have changed since. What you are running into may be a good example of that.

IT appears that the missing items are folders without any content. I may be wrong but it makes sense.

Best wishes.
